MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound
MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone compound for lubrication, protection, and release applications, compliant with FDA and NSF regulations. MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound is a dimethyl silicone-based product designed for diverse applications requiring lubrication, protection, and release properties. Its serviceable temperature range extends from -40 C to 204 C (-40 F to 400 F), and it exhibits notable resistance to moisture, volatility, and oxidation, minimizing the tendency to dry out. The compound's formulation ensures electrical insulation and is approved for food contact according to FDA Regulation 21 CFR 175.300 and NSF Standards 51 and 61, making it suitable for food processing equipment and potable water systems. Importantly, it is free of intentionally added polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
Application is straightforward, requiring only clean and dry surfaces prior to use. MOLYKOTE 7 Release Compound can be applied manually or via automated equipment using methods such as brushing or wiping. Its versatility allows for various uses, including mold release, rubber lubrication and preservation, adhesive release, and cable lubrication.
